La comida es extraordinaria, realmente es de los pocos lugares fuera de México que la comida sabe a auténtica comida mexicana, es un poco costoso pero se entiende por la zona y los productos que usan. Pero realmente vale la pena cada euro. Espero volver pronto

Fui a almorzar con unas amigas y pasamos una tarde espectacular. El restaurante es precioso, con unas decoración increíble, súper fancy. Desde que llegamos el servicio fué espectacular, la mesera nos dió recomendaciones. Pedimos 2 aperitivos: las cacalas y los esquites, que nos sorprendieron tantísimo (la mejor parte fue que los esquites nos sobraron para acompañar las enchiladas enmoladas)!! Las porciones son grandes, pero justas. Las margaritas buenas, pero nada wow. La mejor parte fué el postre: un carajillo P E R F E C T O ✨ de verdad lo recomendaría, y siendo justa con la localización no está nada overpriced. El servicio de Allison (nuestra mesera) fué perfecto, nos explicó en detalle los platos, y dió recomendaciones “spot on”.

La segunda vez, encantada de probar las delicias de Bakan, la mejor en comida Mexicana, los que nos atendieron, unos cracks, prefosionales!!! Daniel y su manager Clemente, muchas gracias, volveré ya que la comida es una delicia, más la atención de 100!!!

Un restaurante totalmente recomendable en la zona de la Puerta de Alcalá. La comida es realmente muy buena, con platos bien presentados y llenos de sabor. Se nota la calidad de los ingredientes y el cuidado en cada detalle. El servicio es excelente por parte de todo el equipo: atentos, amables y siempre pendientes de que la experiencia sea perfecta. Además, la ubicación en la Puerta de Alcalá es inmejorable, lo que hace que la experiencia sea aún más especial. El restaurante cuenta con detalles muy bonitos en su decoración, creando un ambiente acogedor y elegante que invita a quedarse. Sin duda, un lugar para repetir.

Last night was simply amazing. The music was great, the lights created the perfect mood, and the drinks were just perfect. We laughed and enjoyed every moment. It felt like time stopped for a while — just good vibes, good friends, and unforgettable memories.

While exploring the beautiful El Retiro area, we stumbled upon BAKAN Madrid a few days ago, and what an incredible find it turned out to be! 🌟 The restaurant was buzzing with energy, and though we hoped to sit on the patio, it was completely packed — a sign of how popular this spot is! We settled inside, and honestly, we didn’t mind one bit. The warm lighting, chic decor, and cozy seating created the perfect ambiance. 🎶✨ From the very first sip of our vibrant cocktails 🍹 to the last bite of our delicious dishes, everything was a treat for the senses. The flavorful tacos, the rich green sauce dish, and even the crispy house tortillas with salsas were absolutely delightful. 🌮💚 The staff were so warm and attentive, making us feel right at home even in such a bustling setting. BAKAN offers a perfect mix of style and substance — beautiful interiors, good vibes, and fantastic food. A must-visit spot if you’re near El Retiro and craving a memorable dining experience! 🌿🔥

The signature cocktails were 5/5. Food was delicious although a lot of the playes came with too much cheese. Atmosphere was great ! Very warm and vibey

It is a gem in Madrid, a super tasty menu, everything that we’ve tried was super delicious. The food is exquisite and my only comment was their tortillas, very dry and not with the same quality of all their food. The ambiance is so nice, a not so loud music played by their DJ and you can listen and talk nicely. Highly recommended Mexican restaurant in Madrid

Great dining experience in a unique and very welcome atmosphere. Top food brought on your table by the best service. Extra points for the mezcal based mochito that accompagnied the guacomole. A true bomb of tastes! The trio of ceviches...what a joy. The sea bass, a joy for the eye. Nice dry white wine from Mexico. An excellent dessert to finish this wonderfull diner. It was a joy! Thank you.

"We had a fantastic dining experience at Bakan. The food was excellent across the board, with highlights including the Guacamole Clasico and the Rib Eye Madurado. Everything was delicious and well-prepared. Our only minor suggestion would be to provide a few more tortillas to go with the salsas. Overall, a great meal with top-notch food. We'll definitely be back!

My family and I dined at Bakan twice during our week in Madrid, and both visits were outstanding. The ambiance is beautiful—laid-back yet stylish—and created the perfect setting for a relaxing meal. The food was absolutely delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and presented with care. The cocktails were just as impressive—well-balanced and full of flavor. Service was excellent each time, and the restaurant’s convenient location made it an easy favorite during our stay. Truly a memorable dining experience—we’ll definitely return whenever we’re back in Madrid.

All the food we had was astonishing and full of flavor, portions were generous and the staff were super helpful, and explained the food to us very well. Highly recommend the pork tacos and the chorizo cheese fondue!! The only thing that disappointed me was how they tried to add the “Suplemento Terazza” even though we were sitting inside - it added another 8 euros to the bill. Could have been by mistake but still - pay attention when your bill arrives !!

We had a great experience at Bakan in Madrid! The standout for us was the fresh guacamole — perfectly seasoned and made right at the table, it was a flavorful start to the meal. The tacos were another highlight: varied, vibrant, and packed with bold, authentic flavors. Each one offered something different, making it fun to mix and match. If you’re looking for a spot with quality Mexican food and a lively atmosphere, Bakan is definitely worth a visit.

Having enjoyed the original Bakan in Miami, we were excited to try this location as well. It’s a fantastic modern Mexican restaurant that stays true to traditional flavors while offering a contemporary ambiance. The atmosphere is vibrant, with stunning interiors that enhance the dining experience. The food was excellent—we sampled the ceviche trio, guacamole, scampi tacos, golden chicken tacos, and the beef with huitlacoche, all of which were flavorful and well-executed. Their cocktail menu and tequila/mezcal selection are equally impressive. The maracuyá margarita with mezcal was a standout—smooth, smoky, and perfectly balanced. Highly recommend!

I was in this restaurant for lunch. I ordered one appetizer, one enchiladas and a choice of quesadillas. All of them were absolutely delicious. Kudos to the chef for putting up such a lovely menu and executing them very well. Service: We were served by very hospitable service associate Andre, he was very attentive, easy to communicate with and suggested items from the menu to help us with. Definitely professional gentleman who can make your experience in the restaurant top notch. Atmosphere: It was really nice, we were seated outside the restaurant during the day plus it was winter in Madrid so loved the vibes.

At first glance, Bakan appears to be a traditional Mexican restaurant, with vibrant decor and a menu focused on classic Mexican flavors. However, hidden gems await, like the “Vuelve a la Vida”, a Venezuelan seafood cocktail that surprised and delighted me as a fellow Venezuelan. This dish, prepared with exceptional freshness and balance, perfectly captures the essence of Venezuela’s coastal cuisine. Its inclusion on the menu is a testament to Bakan’s commitment to showcasing the richness of Latin American flavors. What truly elevates the experience is the attentive and dedicated service. The staff ensures every detail is taken care of, making each guest feel valued and enhancing the overall dining experience. Bakan is more than just a Mexican restaurant; it’s a celebration of Latin American culinary diversity with an outstanding personal touch.

Bakan in Madrid is truly an extraordinary dining experience and easily one of my top 3 restaurants in the world. I've been fortunate enough to visit many times, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is vibrant and immersive, with a really cool vibe that perfectly complements the dining experience. If you're lucky enough to visit when the live DJ is performing, it adds an entirely new dimension to the ambiance—it's simply magical. The selection of tequila and mezcal is among the best I've encountered, offering an exciting variety that perfectly pairs with the incredible food. Speaking of the food, every single item on the menu is worth exploring. It’s the kind of place where you want to try a bit of everything, and sharing dishes is definitely the way to go. Start with an order of guacamole—it’s fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick things off. For the main dishes, you can’t go wrong with their tacos and moles. The flavors are bold, authentic, and meticulously crafted. Each dish tells a story, and every bite is a delight. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, Bakan is a place that consistently delivers perfection. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a world-class culinary experience in Madrid!

Es un restaurante mexicano de nivel situado al lado de la puerta de Alcalá. La ubicación es perfecta y la decoración también, además dispone de una amplia variedad de platos y sabores para elegir y probar de esta gastronomía. La lubina y el pollo al carbón estaban espectaculares, y los tacos merece la pena no dejarse ninguno sin probar. El guacamole de los mejores que hemos comido por madrid. Las porciones grandes y los precios acordes a las características mencionadas. Para volver seguro.

La comida es buena tanto de porción como de sabor, a demás que traen los platillos rápido. Nosotros pedimos de entrada el esquite y el queso fundido con chorizo. De platos fuertes ordenamos las enfrijoladas, el mole y las tostadas de atún. La vista si tienes mesa afuera es buena hacia la Puerta de Alcalá. Lo que hacen que no diera 5 estrellas es la atención de los meseros, a nosotros nos atendieron 2 diferentes y olvidaban algunas cosas, tuvimos que pedir la cuenta al rededor de 3 veces. Al inicio dan unas salsas con tostadas que nosotros no tocamos y las devolvimos pero vinieron incluidas en la cuenta 3 euros por persona, amablemente nos las quitaron de la cuenta ya que eran 12 euros.

Buena opción de comida mexicana. Muy recomendable el chile en nogada que sirven solo durante las fiestas patrias. Deliciosa margarita picante. Lugar agradable frente a a Puerta de Alcalá. Servicio atento y servicial. Recomiendo si bien los precios son algo excesivos.

Un restaurante de comida mexicana gourmet. El lugar es hermoso con buena decoración y los camareros súper amables. El sabor de la comida también cumple las expectativas. Sin embargo, cobran un suplemento de 7.50 euros por comer en la terraza. Además el costo de las salsas, tostadas y otros acompañamientos del plato no están incluidos y los cobran a parte (3 euros por salsa) y no te lo dicen

Riri

Beautiful atmosphere and crowd, good mexican options, go for the atmosphere. Best dishes: flautas, tostadas de atun, melted cheese with soft tortilla. Beautiful churro presentation. Guacamole could use seasoning but overall great.

we dined at Bakan on Christmas evening and it was lovely. Although the food-price value was sometimes a little high (specifically this salad..).. we had a great experience and it was quite enjoyable! The place is beautiful and the service is great! Great vibes !! Would definitely recommend:)

Pues todo iba cojonudo. Unos cócteles en la barra expectscularew escuchando música Dance. La noche prometía. Cuando nos sentamos llegaron unos mariachis. El volumen de la música en directo ya no nos dejaba ni hablar entre nosotros, pero bueno, esperábamos que al finalizar la actuación volvería a lo previo. Pero no, al volver la música Dance el volument estaba más fuerte, y era imposible hablar sin gritar. Lo peor de todo es que a partir de las 11.30 cambiaron a reggeton, y eso ya nos acabó de matar. Sobre la comida, muy rica. Sin duda. Peeeero pedimos recomendación. Y nos recomendaron el guacamole de entrante....peeeero resulta que los otros platos que pedimos traían de acompañamiento el miiiismo guacamole, de manera que podríamos haber pedido un entrante diferente. Mala recomendación. Además pedimos Dos platos al carbón para compartir, según la recomendación de la camarera. Éramos 3 y la comida era excesiva....mala recomendación de nuevo. Volveré?. Con ese volument de música no.

Good decoration and vibe. The menu is nice and slightly different from others which is refreshing, but the execution could be improved (some of the meat in the tacos was quite dry). Staff was friendly but professionalism could be improved too (not being able to go to the restrooms because they are taking out the trash through the main stairs , at peak dinner time, waiters basically pushing you to go through even if they’re not carrying any trays or plates, they served us a glass which broke immediately, with almost no apology (despite the fact that it could have been dangerous and it got stains all over my clothes) and no gesture like inviting us to the drink or offer to pay for the dry cleaning.

Neyla Benkadda

The food was great, but the waitress named Alison was extremely rude. She broke a glass and laughed about it. When we mentioned it to her, she started shouting at us and continued to behave in a very rude manner. She did not seem to realize that pieces of glass had gone all over the table and did not show any concern or apology. This is the first time we have experienced such behavior at Bakan; we have always been attended by other waiters who were professional and attentive. It is very disappointing for a place of this standard.

Hemos venido a cenar con mi pareja. Mesa reservada desde el día anterior; inicialmente estuvo normal la atención; he pedido un margarita clásico, al pedir el segundo me lo traen solo chelado (con sal al borde) la mitad y yo le digo a la mesera me han traído el mismo vaso, ella lo devuelve, me vuelve a pasar el mismo Margarita y se acerca una mesera que me “explica” que si me lo habían michelado completo al inicio fue un error que la “política de la empresa” es poner sal en solo la mitad del vaso; la justificación la entiendo; pero que un lugar en el que estoy pagando la mesera me hable en voz alta, regañándome y haciéndome sentir mal. Cuando hubiese sido sencillo Míchelar todo el vaso o buscar una solución y no gritarme y decir que es lo que hay… En definitiva, el servicio hace los lugares especiales y este definitivamente es para no volver y menos recomendar. Como empresaria, me apena pensar que los dueños estén invirtiendo en espacio, lugar y belleza para que una mesera cierre las puertas a un cliente.

The location is great, the service is good, deco beautiful, however the food is HORRIBLE! the black tacos 🌮 bread type was as plain and tasteless as it can get, meat and the chicken stuffing were terrible, and overall overpriced, I mean for 2 little pieces of meat 30€ , ridiculous, which I wouldn't have mind if it was tasty. Such a potential even with these prices, but the food is HORRIBLE 🫣
